Favorite Italian bands...

I was just thinking about that "true knowledge and wisdom bring along silence and modesty" analogy. Imagine you went to a lecture and the lecturer stood at the lectern and said "I don't want to offend anyone so I will just stand here and say nothing". Imagine also that you paid a tutor for a private lesson and they said "I am too humble to play the role of mentor to you so I won't tell you anything, that way you won't think I am an arrogant prick". Seems absurd right?
The point being how does one express knowledge and/or wisdom in silence while being too ashamed to express it in the first place?

"No evidence of persuasion"? Note the sections in bold. These are statements of unequivocal fact, not opinions. He is stating that they are definitively overdoing things. He can't know that, he isn't the judge of what is and isn't overdoing things musically beyond all doubt. He is also stating that they should do things with more taste. Whose taste? His? Once again he isn't the arbiter of what is and isn't tasteful, though he has definitly used launguage that implies that he is. He also says they would be making better music if they followed his apparent guidelines. Better music according to whom? What makes him think he or anyone else is the arbiter of what is better than what?

Also he alludes to terms like "jazzy" for example. Now if you are going to say it is "jazzy" you might want to have some understanding of what "jazz" is about before you go using the term in an authoritive statement of fact like he was.

Basically he he presenting himself as the expert of all of these things like he is beyond repraoch in his opinion. I sincerely doubt given the language he has used and other things he has said in other posts that he really has much concept of the musical analysis behind what this band are doing and could therefore have no idea what their goals and objectives are. Even someone who is highly educated in musical analysis would have to concede that their opinion is only subjective and that whether something has too many "jazzy breaks" is only their opinion. Which brings me to the final point. Bands and composers don't write music so that people like derberder can be satisfied that they have been able to put thier music into the "overly progressive" pile or not. They really don't care either way.

Finally though I think it's about time you stop trying to undermine me with your childish rants about how I am retarded or gay or whatever witless insults pop into your head at the time. It only serves to make you look stupid and ignorant yourself.

You aren't really in a position to comment on my intellect at all really. Your intellectual prowess is only comparable to the average teenager, which I am guessing you are. In which case when adults who know more than you speak you should learn when to be seen and not heard. Otherwise you are one stupid fucker and should probably stop embarrasing yourself. Everything you type on this forum is an attempt at a so called burn and only an idiot would think you are doing anything but making yourself look foolish. The only failure here is you. You geta big red F too.
